PAGEANT 

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4. 

3 p. m., at Choate Field. 

"All the land u-as full of people, 
Restless, struggling, toiling, striving, 
Speahing many tongues, yet feeling ' 
B2it one heart-beat in their boso})is. 
In the woodland rang their axes. 
Smoked their towns in all the valleys. 
Over all the lakes and rivers. 
Rushed their great canoes of thunder." 

EPISODE I. 

Scene I. 

The assembling of the Council, Mattabesitt Indians. 

From the forest and the mountains, 

From the rivers and the valleys, 

Hasten, now, O sons of Weena! 

Hasten from the gentle south wind. 
Hasten from the pleasant west wind, 

Hasten from the north and east wind! 
Sing and offer praise to Weena, 
To the mighty spirit, Weena!

To you, wise men, and our fathers, 
We have come to show our prowess; 
To implore a name be given, 
Worthy of our skill in hunting. 
Worthy of our strong endurance. 
And the Courage Spirit, Weena! 
Weena ! Weena ! 

Tell us, then, O youths of courage, 
What it is you've done among you. 

I have crossed the falling waters, 
Fiercely dashing far below me; 
I have found the logvi^ay fallen, 
That has made the crossing bridgeway, 
I have twice and thrice attempted. 
Then, at last, have leapt the waters! 

Leaping Water, shall we call you; 
Leaping Water! Ahuajin! 
Ahuajin! Ahuajin! 

I have hunted in the forest, 

Hunted when the trees were leafless, 

For the leaves had fallen thickly. 

Heaped about me in dry masses; 

Ihave found them burning fiercely, 

Fierce I've fought the fire and quenched it. 

Evermore, then, shall we call you, 
Stamp Fire! By that name, Wohela! 
Wohela! Wohela! 

By the sunny, sloping pasture, 

Where the young colts feed in numbers, 

I have found one that no other, 

Ever dared to try the temper. 

I have ridden, tossed and turnmg, 

Clung and beating, I have tamed him! 

For this skill in temper trying. 
Kicking Horse, your name! Ossoomuh! 
Ossoomuh ! Ossoomuh ! 



11 



By you, wise men, and our fathers, 

I've been sent on lengthy errands 

To the wigwams of our neighbors 

With a message of great value; 

From the lightning I have fallen; 

Stunned, and crawling — brought the message! 

Hit-in-the-Head! The name be given 
To you, forever more! Nahmahway! 
Mahmahway! Mahmahway! 

For five days, wise men and fathers, 

In the marshland, in the swampland, 

I have lived in seeking swamp roots. 

Medicine for old and feeble; 

Five long days, in thirst and hunger, 

I have sought the roots, and found them! 

And for this. Swamp Root we shall call you; 
The name be given — Keewis-kawin! 
Keewis-kawin! Keewis-kawin! 

For Weena's sake, 

Ahuajin! Wohela! Ossoomuh! Mahmahway! Keewis-kawin! 

Dance of the councillors and youths, in celebration of the bestowal of names.

Scene II. 

The return of the warriors, who have been in combat with 
their enemies, the Pequots. 

Councillors: Four times has the sun risen and set in the heavens, since 

you left us to fight the Pequots who have made their way 
across the Great River at the East, and no scalps we see, 
as tokens.

The sun shall rise and set no more for Ahmusk, and his 
followers. They lie by the Great River. 

And the moon shines down upon the graves of others. 



The winds shall blow no more upon the faces of many 
braves we left. 

The rain shall wash away the blood where they were slain, 
but not the anger and the sorrow of our hearts. 

Tribute must we render, otter and ei-mine, arrowheads and 
horses. 

We will move onward to the west, where the sun sets, and 
the wind spirit dwells. 

The trail of the Mohawks is on the West. 

O, my father, there are white men at the river's mouth, 
many of them. 

Paleface children! Seeking to share our land. 

Palefaces, but enemies of the Pequots and the Mohawks. 

Great are the numbers of the Palefaces, many are their 

lodging places at the river's mouth. 

We, whose loss is great in numbers, let us gather near to 

them for shelter. 

Great is the tribute to be paid our enemies. 



12 



Montowese: And great the desire of the Palefaces for our land. I — 

Montowese — am the friend of the white man, for our good. 
When he comes to our wigwams, I give him welcome. To 
the white man, I give welcome! 

Welcome! To the white man, welcome!

EPISODE II.— The Vision. 

Scene I. 

In 1660, the land upon which is located the present town of Wallingford, was 
surveyed by Rev. Mr. Davenport, Thomas Yale, William Andrews, John 
Brockett, Nathaniel Merriman and Montowese. 

Mr. Merriman: It is here, Goodman Brockett, enclosed in the circle of these 

(Henry L. Davis) gentle hills, that our idea of a new town might fitly be 

carried out. 

Mr. Brockett: It is a sightly place, covering many good miles, if I mistake 

(Chai'les C. Carroll) not. 

Mr. Andrews: It is the same land, then, that some twenty years ago was 

(Charles F. Williams) bought of our friend, Montowese? 

Mr. Brockett: The same. I have surveyed it before, and today will fix 

the boundary lines again. 

Mr. Yale: Then it is the plan to settle the land that we see, from our 

(Lucius Maltby) numbers at New Haven? 

Mr. Merriman: A Divine Providence has seemed to point the way to this 

end. It is said that Mr. Davenport has felt it so, though 
he has spoken not, since we paused here. 

Mr. Davenport: So beautiful a place in nature, as we see now, cannot but 

(James H. Solandt) fill the mind with thoughts of the Creator of this fair land. 
Since standing here, that Scriptural verse has come to 
me with extra meaning: "My beloved hath a vineyard in 
a very fruitful hill." Look yonder, and see the valley 
land, fertile and green, and the hills yonder, of what may 
they not prove fruitful, in years to come? People shall 
live here, led by the Spirit of Progress, and by Courage. 
Religious Freedom shall be theirs, and Liberty. Educa- 
tion shall come to them, and Industry; and Justice r6ign 
through them, forever. Look yonder! And think how 
wondrous is the future for the dwellers of this place!

Scene III. 

A May Day in New England. 

Courage, an unseen but ever ready equipment, went with the early settlers on 
their journey through new country to their intended village, and helped them 
to face whatever unknown dangers awaited them. In May, 1670, a little 
band of people arrived with all their worldly goods, with all their hopes and 
fears, and began the making of our present town.

Scene IV. 
Evening in the New Town, a Service of Thanksgiving. 

Religious Freedom was of chief importance to all colonists, but to none more than 
the Wallingford settlers, who desired, first of all, in their settlement docu- 
ment, that "the worship of God be set up among us." 

"How sweet and awful is the place 
With Christ within the doors; 
While everlasting love displays 
The choicest of her stores! 

While all our hearts, and all our songs 

Join to admire the feast, 
Each of us cries, with thankful tongues, 
"Lord, why was I a guest?" 

'Twas the same love that spread the feast 

That sweetly drew us in; 

Else we had still i-efused to taste, 

And perished in our sin."

EPISODE IV. 

Scene I. 

"The Cradle of American Liberty." 

Two years before the Declaration of Independence, Wallingford men declared 
themselves free, at a town meeting held in protest over the passing of the 
Stamp Act. The Spirit of Liberty which led them to declare themselves 
free men, proclaimed them as forerunners of an American democracy.

What is it, what is the news? 



It is the news which has just reached the colonies, of the 
Stamp Act which has been agreed upon in London. 

Will the meeting come to order! This meeting has been 
called to bring to your attention the news of the Stamp 
Act passed in London, whereby all documents and paper 
and parchment used in business shall be stamped. 

Mr. Moderator! Mr. Moderator! Mr. Moderator! 

Order! I am in authority at this meeting to appeal to 
your sense of justice. Shall we, or shall we not, acquiesce 
in this injustice? 
No! No! We shall not! 

Did our ancestors, or did they not, purchase this township? 

Aye! Aye! 

And they who planted at expense, and possessed in peril, 
did they, or did they not, bequeath this land to us? 

They did! 

And our inheritance is, we were born free! 

We were born free! 

Therefore, what action shall be taken? 

Mr. Moderator! Mr. Moderator! 

Order! Mr. Andrews! 

I vote that anyone who uses a sign or stamp on any docu- 
ments be fined twenty shillings. 

Aye! Aye! I second it! 

It has been voted that anyone who uses on any paper or 
parchment any such stamp shall be fined twenty shillings, 
whereas and because — 

Our ancestors purchased the land; possessed it in peril; 
bequeathed it to us; we are, therefore, born Free, and are 
Free Men of the American Colonies.

EPISODE V. 

The Wallingford Union Academy, 1818. 
Education has been foremost among the necessities of the town from its first 
foundation, and because of its schools, a just reputation has been earned 
beyond the dreams of its early visioners, for educational development.

EPISODE VI. 
An Afternoon Tea Party, 1837. 

The Spirit of Industry led the men of Wallingford, soon after their arrival, to 
build a small grist mill. From then on, factories have changed, but have 
always multiplied in usefulness and numbers; for the tendency shown in the 
beginning to create and produce, has grown into a strong and worthy 
attribute.

Procession of Vehicles. 

Captain Macock Ward built, in 1755, the first chaise in this vicinity, a two- 
wheeled vehicle. 

Ezra Rice owned the first pleasure vehicle that was ever seen in Meriden and 
vicinity, and this wagon had four wheels. 

Th stage coach was an important social and national institution in the days of 
romance, revolution, powdered wig, and polite manners. 

The one-horse chaise of the late 1700's was the forerunner of the buggy, the 
phaeton, the runabout, and the roadster.

EPISODE IX. 

The World War. 
The Spirit of Wallingford, with the aid of her Courage, Liberty, Justice; of 
Industry, Religious Freedom, Progress and Education, had passed through 
nearly 250 years of well doing, and well being, when the great sacrifice was 
demanded of her, of giving her sons in service in the World War; and no 
prouder moment was hers than when she so generously gave of those whom 
it was so hard to give. 

Scene I. 

Spirit of War: I am the Spirit of War! I call to my aid all those who 

(Leo Del Rosso) have courage to oflFer sacrifice, in the name of humanity! 

Justice: You, who sound the clarion of War, do this in my name; I 

(Lucy Roper) have led you in the cause of the oppressed. 

Liberty: I am the spirit that has ever led Wallingford in the great 

(Eloise Haywood) epochs of her existence. 

War: Sacrifice and sorrow go hand in hand with me, but Peace 

(Leo Del Rosso) and Democracy shall follow after and bring joy to the 

world. 

Wallingford: I am the Spirit of Wallingford! Let me know sacrifice — 

(Elizabeth Martin) and let me know sorrow! For I shall also know that I am 
on the side of the oppressed. Gladly and freely, then, I 
give my sons to you, in the name of humanity!

EPISODE X. 

Scene I. 

The Vision Fulfilled. 

And as we view this place, which we hope may be so fruit- 
ful a vineyard, would that we could behold a vision of 
what may come to pass. 

From so small a band of people, can greatness of numbers 
ever come? Or shall savage races rise from unknown 
quarters, and put an end to our efforts in establishing a 
colony? 

Nay, let us not be discouraged by a smallness of numbers, 
which a Divine Providence hath prospered in this wilder- 
ness we have come to. Let us, rather, as Mr. Davenport 
hath said, look to a largeness of the population of the 
town that shall be here, and in its accomplishments. 

Vain imaginings, I fear, but would that they could come 
true. 

Yet I think I see the vision become a wondrous greai; 

reality!

Wallingford Today. 

(Tune: America.) 

To thee, O Wallingford, 

Land of the hopes and dreams 

Of ancient days; 
To what thy years have brought, 
To all the brave deeds wrought 
To all thy lessons taught, 

We oflFer praise. 

For thee, O Wallingford, 
For all thy future years, 

We hope and pray; 
Our hopes, like those of old. 
Visions of growth behold; 
Our pride and love untold. 

Are thine, this day.

THE WALLINGFORD HISTORICAL SOCIETY, Inc. 





Wi 






£>■«. .J;a:^;.. 


- 



This quaint, old house which it is hoped will be the home of "The 
Wallingford Historical Society, Inc., for many generations to come, is 
very pleasantly situated on South Main street, quite near the histori- 
cal Street and Merriman allotments of 1670 and within rifle range of 
the stockades built in 1676 when King Philip's hordes of Indians 
threatened all southern New England. 

Under the careful supervision of President Thomas it has been 
entirely renovated. 

He has been ably pssi^ted bv ladies of the society who exercised a 
most judicious taste in the choice of quaint styles of paper that 
thoroughly harmonize with the age of the old house. 

From some rooms the paper was entirely removed, thus revealing 
ancient paneling of fine workmanship that would cost a fortune to 
procure now. 

The age of this interesting place is not known as yet, but Hon, 
0. H. D. Fowler has traced it back on the town records to 1759. 

During the Revolution it was probably occupied by the Par.^ons 
family, after whom Parsons street was named. The Parsons and Hall 
families were united by marriage. Esther Parsons was a daughter of 
Samuel Hall and mentioned on the records as widow of "Cornet" John 
Parsons in 1766. 

Cornet being a military title ranking in olden time between a 
lieutenant and sergeant. Nowadays he would be called "top sergeant" 
and duly consigned to punishment eternal by privates under him 
every morning at reveille, that bugle call abhorred by lazy soldiers. 

Whether or not Cornet Parsons gained his military title by active 
service is not known but Wallingford sent a large contingent to Cape 
Breton and the siege of Louisburg. 

Jesse Hall deeded to Caleb Thompson, a portion of the property 
in 1803. Before that time it had been used as a tavern and a 
stopping place for the stages that used to run between New York and 
Boston. 



29 



President Thomas, however, denies any intention of claiming 
General Washington stopped here to dine when he visited Wallingford. 

In 1805 Captain Thompson moved his family into the house. He 
was a carriage builder by trade and pursued that calling in a shop that 
stood in the north front corner of the yard, on the site now partly 
occupied by the "Liberty tree" recently dedicated by the society. He 
VN'as a skilled cabinet maker and at one time made coffins in this shop. 

It is a tradition that the Wallingford small boy of that period, if 
after dark, approached that pai't of South Main street in fear and 
trembling and whistled in boyish glee when the "coffin shop" was far 
behind him. 

Years after this shop was moved to South Colony street and 
made into a dwelling house where it still stands but the weird tales 
connected with it are there unknown. 

Captain Thompson's daughter married Eli W. Ives, who for 
sixteen years was judge of probate and town clerk. He was a 
gentleman of the old school, very dignified and precise. 

One has only to go to the pi'obate and town records of the early 
40's and oO's and see how beautifully they are written to know they 
were kept by a gentleman of education and refinement. 

Quite recently the commission granted by Governor John Tread- 
well in 1805, to Caleb Thompson, naming him a captain in command of 
a Wallingford company of infantry, came into possession of the 
historical society. 

Some years ago it had been given the late Major Norton by 
Joseph Noyes, a descendant of Rev. James Noyes, who lived in the 
"Dana" house now occupied by George Dickerman, another of our 
old historic Wallingford mansions. 

Mrs. Hannah Norton presented the commission to the historical 
society., who have had it framed and it will come back after one 
hundred years to the original house where it was first received by 
Captain Thompson. 

Fannie I. Schember, to whose generosity the historical society 
owes the possession of this beautiful home, is daughter of Judge Ives 
and granddaughter of Captain Caleb Thompson. Her early childhood 
and youth was spent here and the place is endeared to her by countless 
early associations. 

To her not only is the Wallingford Historical Society indebted but 
our entire community is under a great obligation for what is a most 
attractive adjunct to the literary and social life of the town. 

She is a resident of New Haven at present and it is to be hoped 
will live many years to enjoy the pleasure and satisfaction of knowing 
her childhood home will be a Mecca in generations to come for the 
historian and the antiquarian as well as a center of communit}' 
interest. 

The Wallingford Historical Society was incorporated in 1919. 
It has about 200 members, and the purpose of the society is to collect 
and presei've whatever may serve to explain or illustrate the 
arehacoloiiy, the art and literature, the history, civil, ecclesiastical, 
or natural, of the state of Connecticut, especially that part thereof 
known as the Quinnipiac valley, including the town of Wallingford 
and the parts adjacent thereto, as deemed advisable; to provide in a 
suitable manner for their care, preservation and exhibition, to hold 
such meetings and provide and conduct such lectures as may aid in 



30 



the scientific, literary and benevolent education of the community ; to 
print or furnish such publications as may be thought desirable, also 
to do such things as may be deemed proper, and to receive, invest and 
care for any gift of money or other property which may be made to 
such society. 

The officers are: Marshall K. Thomas, president; John B. Ken- 
drick. first vice president; Charles G. Phelps, second vice president; 
Charles H. Tibbits, third vice president; John G. Phelan, secretary; 
I/: organ P. Dickerman, financial secretary; George E. Dickerman, 
treasurer ; Rev. Arthur P. Greenleaf , Marcus E. Cooke, Henry Winter 
Davis, Emma J. Barber, Linus H. Hall, J. Norris Barnes, Jennie Y. 
Johnson, Edith Hart Goddard, Clarence H. Brown, trustees. 

Since the organization of this society great interest has been 
taken in the story of our historic old town. 

Many books and manuscripts are being constantly saved from 
destruction that will in the future be invaluable. As time passes 
objects of art, antique furniture, curios, and the thousand and one 
things that will tend to the information and education of future gen- 
erations of Wallingford people will be gathered and preserved.
